Why they scaled Trash Mountain, video by Berit Ollestad:
It doesn’t quite rank with Mt. Everest. Or even High Point.
But it still takes courage to summit Trash Mountain. After all, it’s covered with dirt and…trash.
And all that nasty stuff eventually may flow into the Whippany River–unless someone collects it first. That’s precisely what a group of Scouts from Hanover Troop 155 did over the weekend, cleaning Trash Mountain, where Morristown piles its plowed snow in a parking lot on Bishop Nazery Way.
They were part of a volunteer team assembled by the Whippany River Watershed Action Committee for the sixth annual Whippany River cleanup.
Morristown Green correspondent Berit Ollestad caught up with the intrepid Scouts and asked why they scaled Trash Mountain.
(Because it’s there?)
